Abstract
This literature review examines augmentative and alternative communication for people with disabilities. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is an alternative communication method for people with disabilities and communication deficits. Research to seek this information included identifying what augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are available to people with disabilities, how AAC is being implemented into instruction for people with disabilities, and the impacts of AAC for people with disabilities. Results indicated that AAC system preferences, AAC awareness, team collaboration, and AAC instruction and intervention are four significant contributors to AAC user success. These four contributors will help enhance the overall quality of life for people with disabilities and communication deficits.
